I absolutely enjoy all your podcasts, but when you are able to include a small swatch piece, That is particularly helpful. It adds so much to your video. You might want to keep your eye open for any type of use th machine . You could photograph it put it back into this skein in less than five minutes. You’re a treat to us Knitters and crocheting.
Even if I were to purchase a new machine, I do not have the capacity to swatch yarns for all of my videos, unfortunately. :( I am a one woman show at the moment.
We have the same brain I swear lol! I did a colorway like this with all periwinkle and then the peek a boo part, pink, yellow and purple. I wish we could post pictures in the comments on TH-cam. Soo similar lol! It came out beautiful!!! I have a video on here where I made a GIANT niddy noddy for this and self striping yarns. I can’t do warping boards lol. Too many kids yelling at me at all times of the day lol. I always tangle it hahaha!
Super easy to make but not the easiest thing when it comes to warping if you have kids yelling at you all day long lol! I made a niddy noddy that’s pretty much the size of me lol! It works great for self striping yarn and stuff like this though!
Literally this morning at 4am I was on youtube searching for a rainbow and black peekaboo yarn, I was SURE someone had done it or thought of it but I wasnt getting anything. So imagine my surprise when I opened my youtube this AM and your video popped up! Love it
Rebecca- if you do this again, try putting a zip tie tightly around both sides of the yarn creating a new closed end at a point that will allow it to rest on the spoon and pot and leave your undyed end out of the pot. Hope I explained it clearly enough!
OMG THIS IS BRILLIANT. This would help so much. I have one other video where I do something like this later on, but I'm going to have to keep this in my back pocket. I hope I remember for next time!
Rebecca, you are too cute. That turned out gorgeous! So cool they offer this type of skein for dyeing. I've seen minis but not these. REALLY love the color combination. You did nail it!
Awe, thanks! W2D4 really offers a lot of options. I've been impressed with their shipping times, too. The minimum order is a bit harder so I have to plan them out carefully, but I do like the yarn.
"I have bought the 6-meter skeins. Let's open this up for a little unboxing. Um, hopefully these come- oh dear- with a lot of tie- oh gosh. Oh no." This is scarier than 85% of actual horror stories 😂
I love this! And your zip-tie-to-microwave solution. I’ve never seen a pre-made long skein like this. Certainly beats doing it myself with a bunch of chairs!
I've made my own a lot. I think longer than 6 M would be better for some applications, but this certainly helps and isn't that much more expensive than the yarn in normal size hanks.
Shanna Seigel I made a giant niddy noddy from PVC pipe!! I have it in my self striping yarn tutorial I believe? It definitely is a hassle having to make them bigger lol! I want to get one of those new skein winders from heavenly. Seems like it would work great for this lol!
@@shannaseigel4003 This is the one that I use a lot. th-cam.com/video/DanTMqrbxtQ/w-d-xo.html I love it because I can make them super long. I showed this a bit in Dyepot Weekly #100 :D
So wonderful, can't wait to try some version of this. You say in title 6 meters but at end you say 9 meters? I guess that would affect how wide the black is, I made the huge mistake of doing a super long skein outside on chairs, it was 30 feet one way. I had no idea what I was doing at all. I did recurring pastel colors and when I knitted it it was so boring looked like pastel mud blotches!!! Dealing with the pooling is really a crapshoot until you experiment a lot and think ahead what span you will be making. Not enough hours in the day!
I recently saw in a group I'm in, that someone was making mittens from a yarn called Dark Side of the Moon and it had this one rainbow stripe that was spiraling up the length of the work and I pondered how they got it like that..I wonder if they did a similar dye technique like you did here 🤔 I love how this yarn came out 💕
I think that if you wanted a specific pooling effect like that you could calculate the length of yarn used for one round of the mittens and then go slightly bigger than that to dye the colorway.
Have you thought about doing an episode on comparing dish soap to wool wash, and/or different wool washes. Camaj fiber says that wool should be washed in wool, because the alkaline of dish soap damages the yarn.
I keep meaning to switch to synthrapol etc. I have never actually used wool wash in my life! BUT I would like to do more research on this. It might be hard to see much of a difference from one wash, but wool wash is definitely more gentle.
Not specifically I don't think. However, it would work very similarly. In many acid dye techniques I do you could easily substitute food coloring. The one thing that is hard is getting a good black with food coloring - that is super hard to do.
@@ChemKnitsTutorials ooh I bet both would look amazing! I was specifically looking for a little gradient at the end like you did here with the beautiful yellow blue and green you used here. This came out beautifully! I fell in love with this one as soon as I saw the swatch for it
I have a pair of mittens that match my hat. The colorwork pattern is different, but the yarns are the same. I still have even more of my blue/green/yellow yarn left!

I imagine that I will struggle a bit with the warping board... I still have to make it and I've been putting it off for ages. Fingers crossed!

I never expected it to work up quite like it did. LOVE it! Thanks so much Rebecca 🥰🧶🐐🐫🦙🐑🧶🥰
Thank you so much!
I'm very impressed myself. She's wonderful at this isn't she
Wow! That would be s cool knitted on smaller needles, in the round for socks! Maybe I'll give that a try... Thanks for the inspiration!!
You're very welcome!

Awe! For a rainbow peek-a-boo yarn try looking up the unicorn farts tutorial. (That's not mine, but it is a great reference.)
Rebecca- if you do this again, try putting a zip tie tightly around both sides of the yarn creating a new closed end at a point that will allow it to rest on the spoon and pot and leave your undyed end out of the pot. Hope I explained it clearly enough!

ChemKnits Tutorials is there a way I can private message you?
Yes! Through Instagram or Facebook. I'm @chemknits on insta and /ChemKnits on Facebook.
Haha--as I watched, I was trying to tell her to do that through the computer. (Apparently that doesn't work...)
Very cool! I really like the way this sort of yarn dying turns out when swatched. Thanks for the swatch!
I get so excited when I can do it. :D

Rebecca, my 7yo son came up while I was watching this... he LOVED this colorway! He is super impressed. ;)
Awe! I'm so glad!

LOL! I learned to open the package VERY VERY carefully and then I twist them up. there are a lot of ties, but I don't want to snag and pull the yarn.
This is one of your coolest dyepot weeklies yet! You totally nailed it!!
Thank you so much, Nikki!

Reservoir Fibers Good idea on the PVC! As I’ve gotten more into dyeing I’ve also invested in some pipe and connectors. Definitely been handy!

I LOVE dark grey/black with neon. I love how it worked up, too. Fabulous experiment!
Thank you so much!
I must get some of that black, it looks so velvety! Might try some socks in a standard skein within this kind of colour way, already have frozen.
Dharma True Black is the BEST!
Great video Rebecca! One of your best videos yet!
Thank you so much, Fern!
That yarn is beautiful and I love the pop of color
Thank you!

If I said 9 then I meant 6 - it is definitely a 6 M skein. I didn't notice that slip up!
Omg, I absolutely love this!
Thank you so much!
I am definitely going to get some of these!
Yay! I have 3 left (that are now untangled) and I have lots of ideas for them.
Wish I could see well enough to knit that beautiful black and neon yarn.
Knitting blacks can be hard. It could be fun to do this with a saturated but less black color, too.

Beautiful 🌈🖤🌈 thanks for sharing this with us
You're so welcome. Thank you for watching!
Gorgeous! I love it!
Thank you so much!
Ahhhh, 6 meter skein! Coolness!
I love these - even though I took them out of the package like a noob.
Well, I learned from that noob move! If I get some, I’ll be very careful removing them from packaging. Thank you for all you do!
So beautiful! I love skeins dyed with this method. Have you tried this method with food coloring?
Not specifically I don't think. However, it would work very similarly. In many acid dye techniques I do you could easily substitute food coloring. The one thing that is hard is getting a good black with food coloring - that is super hard to do.
I haven't explored your channel alot as I just found it, but I was wondering if you've ever played with doing a rainbow gradient like this.
You mean a little rainbow gradient at the end of a LOOONG rainbow gradient? Because I'd love to do both!
@@ChemKnitsTutorials ooh I bet both would look amazing! I was specifically looking for a little gradient at the end like you did here with the beautiful yellow blue and green you used here. This came out beautifully! I fell in love with this one as soon as I saw the swatch for it
This is absolutely beautiful 😍😍
Thank you so much!
You could do some more and make mittens or gloves to go along with your hat.
I have a pair of mittens that match my hat. The colorwork pattern is different, but the yarns are the same. I still have even more of my blue/green/yellow yarn left!
Wow!Love it 👍🏻❣️
Thank you!
Beautiful!!!💖
Thank you!
So beautiful...blessed
Thank you, Judith!
What was the length of the white section? Did you measure it?
I did not measure it, unfortunately. Definitely shorter than 10% of the skein from looking at pictures.
@@ChemKnitsTutorials bummer.. I crochet a whole dk hank to play with stripes. So we shall see.
I'm inspired!
Yay!
Love it
Thank you!
This yarn would work well for intarsia cables.
I've never done intarsia cables before. David you always give me a lot of inspiration of things I want to try!
@@ChemKnitsTutorials Thanks. Intarsia cables *should* be worked flat.
OH WOW Love this technique. Looks amazing. xxJane
Thank you so much, Jane!
KAWAII！
I love your Alice in wonderland leggings!! 😲
Thank you! :D
